Here's an inventory of things you should know about Westport's status in the wake of Hurricane Sandy:

Balloting is taking place Tuesday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., at all of the town's usual polling stations.

Westport public schools are closed Tuesday for Election Day, but are expected to reopen Wednesday.

Residents who still have no power because a residential service line is out -- the line from the street into the house -- report it by calling 1-800-286-2000 number. There are four trouble teams in Westport dedicated solely to these house service restorations.

Federal Emergency Management Agency grants are available to Westport residents to help with the costs of repairs and other expenses. These are outright grants that do not have to be repaid and are tax-free. Call FEMA at 800-621- 3362 to start a claim over the phone, or register at the agency's web site: www.fema.gov
